Swedish House Mafia Statement

Swedish House Mafia, the headline act at Saturday night’s Phoenix Park concert, said yesterday that it would be liaising with the festival promoter “on what we can do to help”.

A short statement issued by the group said, in full: “We played a festival in Ireland at the weekend and reports of incidents are coming to us. We didn’t see anything but have asked for all the info and are respectful of the promoter’s need to wait and give us all the clear facts.

“When we know more we will liaise with the festival promoter directly on what we can do to help but for now we have to respect their request to us that we remain quiet and respectful of their event safety processes.

“The festival itself was amazing and we had no idea this had happened and neither did the other numerous artists who played. Once we know all the facts we will deal with it in the best way we can.
